Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a cuff band wrapping device for a blood pressure monitor.

Conventional cuff bands do not have an auxiliary band for temporary fixation.

By the way, when one person attempts to measure the blood pressure of an individual using an electronic sphygmomanometer, etc., it is difficult to measure the arterial position by fitting it well around the arm and collecting blood flow sounds from the artery using a microphone, pressure-sensitive element, etc. Since it is necessary to control the wrapping position of cuff band 1', it is necessary to control the wrapping position of cuff band 1' with one hand, even if arm 7' is not wrapped.
It was very difficult to wrap the cuff band 1' directly around the arm 7' because the cuff band 1' would shift.

This development was made in view of the drawbacks of the conventional example,
The purpose is to provide a cuff band wrapping device that can be attached with one hand by a person to be measured for blood pressure, has little deviation in the wrapping position, and is easy to use.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail according to illustrated embodiments.

The cuff band 1 is formed of one half body 1a in which a rubber bag 2 for ischemia is housed, and the other half body 1b which permanently fixes the cuff band 1 to the arm 7.

The fastener 4 is, for example, a surface fastener, and is composed of a male member 9 having a large number of hook-shaped projections and a female member 10 having a large number of loop-shaped projections, and is attached to one half of the half body 1a. Either one is sewn to the outer circumferential surface, the inner circumferential surface of the tip of the other half body 1b, and the free end of an auxiliary band 3, which will be described later.

Here, if the auxiliary band 3 and the anchoring device 4 of the other half body 1b are of the same type and are the male member 9, then the anchoring device 4 sewn to the outer peripheral surface of the one side half body 1a is the female member 10. Become.

In addition, the anchoring device 4 sewn to the outer circumferential surface of the one half body 1a has two auxiliary band draw-out openings 5 bored in the center, and the auxiliary band pull-out openings 5 communicate with the auxiliary band pull-out openings 5. A passage 6 is formed between the fastener 4 and the outer peripheral surface of the one half body 1a.

Further, an auxiliary band insertion hole 8 is bored at the boundary between the one half body 1a and the other half body 1b.

The auxiliary band 3 is made of an elastic material such as rubber, and is inserted through the auxiliary band insertion hole 8 and both auxiliary band insertion passages 6, 6, and the end of the auxiliary band 3 is inserted through the auxiliary band insertion hole 8 and both auxiliary band insertion passages 6, 6 from the auxiliary band draw-out openings 5, 5. The auxiliary band 3 is formed in a loop shape on the outer peripheral surface of the one half body 1a that accommodates the ischemic rubber bladder 2.

The free end 3a of the auxiliary band 3 pulled out from the auxiliary band draw-out port 5 on the tip side of the one half body 1a is inserted into an annular ring 11 disposed on the outer circumferential side of the one half body 1a. 1
1 is attached to the fixed end 3a of the auxiliary band 3 opposite to the free end 3a.

In this way, the auxiliary band 3 is formed into a loop so as to surround the outer periphery of the rubber bag 2 for artery ischemia in the cuff band 1 through the auxiliary band insertion hole 8 provided in one half 1a of the cuff band 1. ing.

The subject then inserts the arm 7 into the loop formed by the auxiliary band 3 and the one half body 1a, and pulls out the free end 3a of the auxiliary band 3 that protrudes from the annular ring 11. One half 1a of the cuff band 1 including the rubber band 2 is pressed against the arm 7, resulting in a well-fitted state.

Here, the cuff is attached to the arm 7 by joining the fastening tool 4 provided on the free end 3a of the auxiliary band to the fastening tool 4 provided on the outer surface of one half 1a of the cuff band 1 to which it is connected. A cuff band 1 that can temporarily fasten the band 1 and further includes a fastening tool 4 that connects to a fastening tool 4 sewn to the outer peripheral surface of one half body 1a.
Wrap the other half 1b along the arm 7, and attach the anchor 4
, 4, the cuff band 1 can be easily attached with one hand without slipping.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, when the cuff band 1 is temporarily fastened to the arm 7 using the auxiliary band 3, the rubber band 2 for blood ischemia is properly fitted to the arm 7 and the auxiliary band 3 is used. In order to prevent the band 3 from shifting, the auxiliary band draw-out opening 5.5, the auxiliary band insertion passages 6, 6, the auxiliary band insertion hole 8, and the auxiliary band 3 are inserted into the cuff band 1.

Here, if the entrance 6a of the auxiliary band insertion passage 6 on the distal end side of the one half body 1a for positioning the auxiliary band 3 is provided at the end 12 of the one half body 1a of the cuff band, a rubber band for ischemia Nou 2
For example, if the length of the arm 7 is only 220 beads, the outer circumference of the arm 7 that can be formed by the loop' of the auxiliary band 3 is at least 220 mm.
(approximately 70 mm in diameter of the circular hole), which means that people with thinner arms than this cannot fit the cuff band 1 on their arms.

Therefore, by providing an inlet 6a for positioning the auxiliary band 3 at a position a suitable distance L away from the end 12 of the cuff band 1, the cuff band 1 inside the auxiliary band 3 can move the loop of the auxiliary band 3 as shown in FIG. When formed as small as possible, they will overlap by the dimension L. For example, arm 7 of [dimension L of rubber bag 2 for ischemia]
You will be able to respond to people from the outer periphery.

Further, the auxiliary band 3 may be made of a soft cloth-like material that does not affect the arterial ischemic efficiency of the rubber bag 2 for ischemia, but it is advantageous to form it from a material that is elastic (stretchable).

The reason for this is that in devices such as electronic blood pressure monitors that measure blood pressure by using microphones 14, pressure-sensitive elements, etc. to detect blood flow sounds in arteries 13, there are restrictions on the wrapping position of the cuff band 1, and as explained above, there are restrictions on the wrapping position of the cuff band 1. When the measurer temporarily attaches the auxiliary band 3 to the arm 7, it is difficult to ensure that the cuff band 1 is wrapped around the specified position. Cuff band 1 must be brought into position.

However, this operation after the cuff band 1 is fitted to the arm 7 using the auxiliary band 3 cannot be said to be easy.

However, if this auxiliary band 3 has elasticity, it will stretch and this operation will become easier.

In addition, if the cuff band 1 is elastic, the fit of the cuff band 1 to the arm 7 will be better, and variations in the tightening force of the auxiliary band 3 will be absorbed, and even if wrinkles in the cuff band 1 occur due to the auxiliary band 3 being tightened too much. When the blood pressure is measured, air is pumped into the rubber bag 2 for ischemia and it expands, and the auxiliary band 3 also stretches, eliminating wrinkles in the cuff band 1 and eliminating any condition that would affect the measurement.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

This is another embodiment of the connection of the ends of the auxiliary band 3, in which female and male fastening devices 4, 4 are provided at both ends of the auxiliary band 3, and the fastening devices 4
. joined to the anchoring device 4,
Leave the other end free and tighten so that the cuff band 1 fits around the arm 7.

A third embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

In this case, the fastening device 4 is also sewn to the outwardly exposed surface of the auxiliary band 3 pulled out from the auxiliary band drawer opening 5, and the other half 1b of the cuff band 1 is wrapped over the one half 1a. When the anchoring devices 4.4 are attached to each other, the anchoring devices 4 of the auxiliary band 3 are also attached to the anchoring devices 4 of the other side half 1b, thereby increasing the anchoring force, and This prevents the other half 1b of the cuff band 1 from coming off when the pressure increases by sending air into the rubber bag 2, and the cuff band 1 can be securely fixed when wrapped around the arm 7.

Further, there is no need to reduce the width of the auxiliary band 3, and the auxiliary band 3 can be set to have an appropriate and easy-to-use width.

Further, since the entire outer circumference of the part of the cuff band 1 containing the rubber band 2 for ischemia is pressed by the auxiliary band 3, the cuff band 1 fits well on the arm 7.

Further, if the auxiliary band 3 is made of elastic material, it is possible to easily correct the deviation in the winding position.

Furthermore, since the auxiliary band 3 is separate and independent from the cuff band 1,
By making it removable from the cuff band 1, it is possible to partially replace it if a defect such as dirt occurs.

Next, the relationship between the arm 7 and the cuff band 1 will be explained.

When measuring blood pressure with an electronic sphygmomanometer or the like, and when collecting blood flow sounds from the artery 13 using a microphone 14 or a piezoelectric element provided on the cuff 1, the position of the cuff 1 around the arm 7 is restricted. The Rukoto.

The artery 13 is located near the inner surface of the arm 7, but by setting the annular ring 11 through which the auxiliary band 3 of the present invention is inserted on the upper surface of the arm relative to the artery 13, the cuff band can be placed on the left hand (the present invention provides a cuff band on the right arm 7a). 1) at the free end 3a of the auxiliary band 3
By pulling out the cuff band 1, it is possible to fit the cuff band 1 well around the arm 7 and make it easier to wrap the cuff band 1.

As described above, the present invention includes a cuff band formed by extending the auxiliary band and the other half from one end of the one side half that accommodates the rubber sac for ischemia, and the auxiliary band is made of rubber for ischemia. The free end of the auxiliary band is attached to the outer circumferential surface of the one half body through an anchoring device that is formed in a loop shape on the outer circumferential surface of the one half body that accommodates the bag and can be attached and peeled off like a hook-and-loop fastener. Since the arm is attached to the loop, it is not only possible to temporarily fix the cuff band to the arm by inserting the arm into the loop and re-attaching the auxiliary band to one half of the cuff band. During temporary fixation, the auxiliary band can press the outside of the ischemic rubber sac, making it easier for the ischemic rubber sac to fit around the arm.
In addition, there is little displacement of the hemostatic rubber bladder.

Furthermore, since a fastening tool is attached to the inner circumferential surface of the other half to be attached to the outer circumferential surface of the one half, the other half can be wrapped around the outer circumferential surface of the one half and engaged. Although it can be fixed through the garment,
At this time, as mentioned above, the cuff band is temporarily fixed with the auxiliary band, so the subject can easily wrap the cuff band around his arm with his free hand, and No deviation occurs when fixed.
